Hi this is my oc Jane Hopper. Stranger things? Never heard of it!
the sisters deserved better </3
oh no yeah im sure the thought of her military personnel kill count is a deep comfort when shes crying alone in her bed at night in her boston apartment with no friends her age because she lost them when she dropped out of school and a trainee position at the herald that realistically is gonna fizzle out after a few months due to her lack of degree and big city experience
(btw an angel dies every time yall tag #walk em down wheeler on a gifset of her shooting out of the top of that damn truck)
guys i am sorry but i cannot keep quiet about this anymore
YOU. DID NOT NEED. A DEGREE. IN THE 1980S. AND MOST OF THE 1990S.
Especially for a job as a reporter.
i don't actually fully know how to explain this to younger people bc by the time i went to college just after the turn of the fucking century (kill me) a college degree requirement was significantly more common than it was even in 1999 and i know you cannot conceptualize a world that worked differently, but truly truly truly, and especially in trade industries like journalism, all you needed was a high school diploma. In 1990, only 1/3 of women and men combined even ATTENDED college. if you actually needed a college degree for every professional job, the entire fucking economy would have collapsed.
journalism, especially, is a trade. training is provided on the job. with the very slim exception of technical broadcast, you did not need to go to journalism school or even major in journalism to become an incredibly successful journalist. and even the technicals - directors, photogs, producers etc. - absolutely trained on site. can you hold a camera steady? great, we will pay you to teach you how to use it so we can send you out to shoot random overnight crime stories we hear about on the scanner. just keep it in focus.
jonathan doesn't need his NYU degree. the film and entertainment industry is stacked top to bottom, to this day, with people who showed up at set asking for any work at all and would do the gruntest of the grunt work with a smile on their face who then rose through the ranks to become big name directors, writers, producers and actors. for every one who got a degree, 10 didn't.
carl fucking broke the watergate scandal bernstein didn't go to college. he started working for a DC newspaper at 18, rose quickly, enrolled at UMD bc they "officially" required a college degree, got kicked out for bad grades after a year and a half, went back to the star, then left for a paper in new jersey. he never went back to school (though he did go to the post).
in a few months, nancy is gonna get hired on as a staff writer bc she hasn't gotten them sued, remembers to put "allegedly" in her court stories and headlines, and is willing to work the beat and hours other more senior reporters are not. this is 100% truth.
there are a million ways and things to be dissatisfied/angry with from st5, but reset your accuracy meters on this.
Another thing that disappeared from the story. Henry/Vecna insisting all his victims were in his head with him. That by killing them he grew stronger.
Like... That didn't feel relevant at all? I thought for sure we'd see the others in there however briefly. Kind, they would be like Max, trapped in his mind, but they'd be literally trapped. Stick in some kind of nightmare where they can't roam freely like Max
And then to weaken Vecna, they're need to free them all, even if they're dead dead
I like messing around with their earlier designs
getting hyperfixated on a specific character is so embarrassing. here’s another picture of The Character on your dash… I know I just reblogged basically the same one but this one is moving
Forever mad that the show didnt delve into Lucas' struggles as a black kid in a conservative town in the 80s, and that it didnt delve into the struggles of Lumax (an interracial couple) in a conservative town in the 80s
Yes, waitor, I'd like to order jealous Mike Wheeler with a side of confident Will Byers. And a heaping plate of needy, whiney Mike on the side to go with the special: hair pulling Will Byers. Thank you
This is so cute
i don't understand how people can act like "pathetic man x awesome girlboss woman" is supposed to be some kind of subversive feminist fantasy when men have been fantasizing about being underdog losers who still manage to get with the awesome cool woman who is out of their league for decades now. in fact men have been using "woman is so awesome and cool and sexy like some kind of goddess" as a substitute for having to consider women's interiority for not just decades but centuries now. what makes you any different
my advice for women is eat more, shave less, and do whatever the fuck you want
